SAQA Auction

In a few weeks the Studio Art Quilt Association's Online Benefit Auction will begin. There are 244 12" square quilts made and donated by members of SAQA. This is a reverse auction which means on the first day the artwork is shown, it will have its highest price of $750. Each day thereafter the price decreases by $100 until the piece is sold. The auction begins on November 10th at 2PM Eastern time; no bids will be accepted before that time. There will be 3 stages to this auction, and approximately 80 quilts will be auctioned in each stage. You can find my donation on this page, second row from the bottom, right side.

This is SAQA's major fundraiser. Money raised from the auction will go to support all of SAQA's exhibits, catalogs, and outreach programs during 2009. So bookmark your favorites and bid early - many people were disappointed last year when they waited an extra day and were beat to the click on the pieces that they really wanted. I hope that you find something that appeals to you!

The rules are as follows:1. Link to the person who tagged you. That's Teri.2. Post the rules on your blog. Here they are.3. Write six random things about yourself.1. I can't resist Edy's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream and it has to have chocolate sauce on it.2. I hate going to the gym but I go 3 times per week or else I will turn into a blimp.3. I have all seven of the Harry Potter series on either tape or CD. I also have all 5 movies. I only have books 5,6, and 7. I would much rather listen to Jim Dale do the books than read them myself. Actually when I read them I hear his voice in my head.4. I hate shopping for clothes, nothing ever looks good on me. I hate trying things on because those dressing room mirrors are dreadful. They would sell alot more clothes if they had skinny mirrors.5. I don't drink coffee but I have a huge selection of teas. My favorites are the Tazo teas, especially Green Ginger. No Lipton Tea is allowed in my house.6. I'm perfectly content to stay home all day long and work in my studio.4. Tag six people at the end of your post. I'm going to select 6 people who are on the SAQA Artists Web Ring who (whom?) I don't know, or at least not very well. In the process I will need to read some of their postings. I hope you take the time also.Cynthia St. CharlesRachel CochranLiz BergJill WernerSandra HankinsKim Hambric

Thanks Cathy!! I find it hard to believe that you could ever be a blimp. I, OTOH, fight my weight is a constant battle since my first pregnancy 25 years ago. Before that I could eat anything and never weighed more than 125.

Tazo- I love Passion the most. I discovered it at AQT 2 years ago and now hunt for it- I have 4 boxes in my cupboard because it's hard to find.

Ice cream- Ben & Jerry's Creme Brule- which is no longer made.....sigh. Probably a GOOD thing.

Cathy, thanks for tagging me, (I think). Those whose blogs I read have all been tagged quite recently, so I decided to ask for comments from my readers asking them to tell me one thing about themselves. Hopefully, in the future I can play tag more fully.
